Red Hat Satellite 6 Administration Self-paced Training [RH403SP]

OVERVIEW

Learn how to configure Red Hat Satellite 6 to deploy and manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems and software

Red Hat Satellite 6 Administration (RH403) is a lab-based course that explores the concepts and methods necessary for successful large-scale management of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® systems. You will learn how to configure Red Hat Satellite 6 on a server and populate it with software packages. You will use Red Hat Satellite to manage the software development life cycle of a subscribed host and its configuration, and learn how to provision hosts integrated with software and Ansible® configuration management upon deployment.

This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and Red Hat Satellite 6.6.

Elearning Access: Red Hat Online Elearning features the same high-quality course content found in our interactive classroom environments and is supplemented with 90-days of unlimited access to course content, plus hours of cloud-based labs, and webinars from Red Hat experts - all of which is optimized for self-study, giving you the practical and applied knowledge you need to advance your skills, prepare for hands-on certification exams, and to further your career.   Also see information below regarding the Red Hat Learning subscription.

OBJECTIVES

This course develops the skills needed to more efficiently design, configure, test, and deploy computer systems within an organization. The ability to apply these skills will reduce unexpected downtime of systems and facilitate more efficient deployment of new systems, applications, and features.

As a result of attending this course, you should be able to employ the software development life cycle process to plan, create, test, and provision host systems within an organization.  

Following completion of this course you will have the knowledge and experience to:

• Verify a Red Hat Satellite 6.6 installation.
• Regulate Red Hat Satellite with organizations, locations, users, and roles.
• Manage software with Red Hat Satellite environments and content views.
• Use Red Hat Satellite to configure hosts with Ansible playbooks and roles.
• Provision hosts with integrated software and configuration management.
• Implement Metal-as-a-Service (MaaS) with Satellite discovery and provisioning of unprovisioned hosts.
